Russia Wakes Up About Western-Financed NGOs Operating Against Russia Paul Craig Roberts It took the Russians too long to defend themselves from Washington’s Fifth Column NGOs, but finally they understood that these US-financed operatives were a dagger at Russia’s heart. Russian prosecutors have banned them. https://www.rt.com/politics/323919-soros-foundation-recognized-as-undesirable/ No one will give me credit for this, so I will claim it for…

Stall Speed of SU-24 A few readers have taken issue with the 243mph stall speed of the SU-24 reported by Zero Hedge, which I cited in this article: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/11/25/turkey-is-lying-paul-craig-roberts/ First let me say that nothing in the article depends on the stall speed of the SU-24. The point is that 17 seconds is not sufficiently long for a pilot to…

Guest Column From George Abert, Formerly Of Air Force Intelligence Why did Turkey shoot down a Russian Air Force jet? Turkey is so militarily inferior to Russia that it is unlikely Turkey would commit an act of war against Russia without encouragement from Washington. We might think that Turkey would feel shielded by NATO, but it is doubtful that many…

Turkey Is Lying Paul Craig Roberts Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge has posted the flight paths of the Russian aircraft according to Turkey and to Russia. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-24/17-seconds-changed-world-leaked-letter-exposes-turkeys-hair-trigger-reality We know that Turkey is lying for three reasons. One reason is that NATO governments lie every time that they open their mouths. A second reason is that Turkey’s claim that the SU-24…

From Michael Hudson: What French President Hollande Would Have Liked To Have Said “I apologize to President Obama for not realizing that ISIS’s attacks on France were expressions by the ‘legitimate moderate opposition’.” I appreciate President Obama making it clear that ISIS is America’s Foreign Legion just conducing moderate opposition in their own moderate manner.”

Turkey Has Destroyed Russia’s Hope Of Western Cooperation Paul Craig Roberts UPDATE: A friend, George Abert, suggested a reason why the Turks shot down the Russian fighter-bomber over Syria. The Russians have a technology that they recently demonstrated against the newest US missile cruiser and Israel’s US jet fighters. The technology shuts down the communication systems of hostile forces, leaving…

Guile Replaces The Stick: Washington’s New Approach To Russia Paul Craig Roberts Washington has learned that threats and coercion do not work against Russia. All the threats have done is to build Putin’s public support to astronomical levels and to unify Russia against the West’s assault. This is a failed policy that Washington is abandoning as Washington sees a new…

Do you believe that this kid is the mastermind of the Paris attack? Clearly, governments have no respect for the intelligence of their serfs. https://www.rt.com/news/322704-paris-attack-mastermind-killed/

Will The Matrix Prevail? Paul Craig Roberts UPDATE Nov. 19: Note that the authorities almost always claim that they had no warning or indication of an attack, but they can almost instantly identify the “mastermind.” The Paris attack is playing out as I expected. The French government is attacking French civil liberty with legislation similar to the US PATRIOT Act.…

More Paris Puzzles Paul Craig Roberts Some people who are not inclined to believe the official story of the Paris attack are troubled by the question why Muslim suicide bombers would blow themselves up for a false flag attack. The answer to this question is very simple. But first we should dispose of the question whether suicide bombers did blow…

Every Position On The Spectrum Supports The Government’s Propaganda Paul Craig Roberts This excellent article by Glenn Greenwald — http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43438.htm — reminded me that I have meant to write about how every sort of interest attaches to the government’s propaganda in order to make its point. Greenwald shows how the Snowden haters in the US media seized on the Paris…

Washington Refines Its False Flag Operations Paul Craig Roberts Washington and its French vassal have refined how they conduct their false flag operations. With the Charlie Hebdo operation, they knew to immediately set the story in stone in order to avoid any questions from the print and TV media and in order to use the set story to take the…

“Paris Changes Everything,” Say Merkel’s German Political Allies Paul Craig Roberts In my recent writings I have explained the many agendas served by the false flag Paris attack. I also predicted that other countries would follow France’s lead in closing their borders, thus dispossessing the dissenting political parties of their issue and preserving the political power and control of the…

Food For Thought: The Found Passport The “found passport” worked for them for 9/11. It worked again for Charlie Hebdo. So now they have used it a third time. They know that Americans are total dumbshits and can be told anything. No matter how preposterous, the dumbshits will believe it. But Americans are not capable of believing truth. They have…

In the article below Stephen Lendman shows that the Paris attacks have the signature of a false flag attack. Another reason for the attack could be to force US and NATO involvement upon the Russian action against ISIL in order to crowd out Russia and overthrow Assad under the pretext of punishing ISIL for the Paris attacks. Profile of a…

French Security Left Blind During Paris Attacks Paul Craig Roberts I have received a report from European security that there was a massive cyber attack on French systems 48 hours prior to and during the Paris attacks. Among other things, the attack took down the French mobile data network and blinded police surveillance The attack was not a straightforward DDOS…

The Matrix Extends Its Reach Paul Craig Roberts NOTE: The remnant of the American left has again fallen in with the official terror story of the Paris attacks, because the official story serves the left-wing’s denunciatory needs. I see that the Russians as well are on board with the official story as it serves their posture that we must all…

Stephen Lendman Asks Legitimate Questions About French Attacks Blowback or False Flag in Paris? by Stephen Lendman It’s too soon to know for sure. Given French complicity with ongoing US state terror throughout the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere, odds strongly favor the latter. Multiple likely well-planned Friday night attacks in Paris had a disturbing aroma to them –…

Another Paris False Flag Attack? Paul Craig Roberts At 7pm on Friday 13th we do not have much information about the “terrorist attacks” in Paris other than that Paris is closed down like Boston was after the “Boston Marathon Bombing,” also a suspected false flag event. Possibly believable evidence will be presented that the Paris attacks were real terrorist attacks.…

Portuguese Revolution Falls Far Short Paul Craig Roberts The austerity imposed on the Portuguese people by the One Percent has resulted in the election of a coalition government of socialists, communists, and a “left bloc.” In the 20th century, socialism and the fear of communism humanized Europe, but beginning with Margaret Thatcher the achievements of decades of social reforms have…

The Re-enserfment of Western Peoples Paul Craig Roberts The re-enserfment of Western peoples is taking place on several levels. One about which I have been writing for more than a decade comes from the offshoring of jobs. Americans, for example, have a shrinking participation in the production of the goods and services that are marketed to them. On another level…

Another Phony Payroll Jobs Number Paul Craig Roberts The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced today that the US economy created 271,000 jobs in October, a number substantially in excess of the expected 175,000 to 190,000 jobs. The unexpected job gain has dropped the unemployment rate to 5 percent. These two numbers will be the focus of the financial media presstitutes.…

The West Is So Lost In The Matrix That Only Socialists Can Raise The Real Issues Excerpts: “None of the hearings discussed the broader implications of the US preparations for war, or what a major war between nuclear-armed powers would mean for the survival of the human race, and even of life on our planet. On the contrary, the hearings…

The “War On Terror” Is The Hoax Foundation Of The Police/Spy State Paul Craig Roberts The “war on terror” was a hoax. Americans were deceived by policymakers, who are pursuing a hegemonic agenda. The American people were too trusting and too gullible and, consequently, Americans were easily betrayed by Washington and by the presstitute media. The consequences of the deceit,…
